[Marking + feedback](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#marking-feedback) # Anonymous Marking ## Learn how to set up and manage anonymous marking in Cadmus assessments Anonymous marking allows teachers to provide feedback on submissions without seeing student names in the Cadmus class list or your chosen marking tool (Turnitin Feedback Studio or Canvas Speedgrader). In this article, we will cover: 1. [Turning on anonymous marking](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/anonymous-marking#turn-on-anonymous-marking) 2. [Accessing anonymous submissions](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/anonymous-marking#accessing-anon-subs) 3. [Revealing student names in the *Marking tab*](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/anonymous-marking#reveal-student-names) ### **Turning on anonymous marking** While editing the assessment instructions, you can turn on anonymous marking from the *Requirements* page. Be sure to decide on your marking preferences before releasing the assessment, as this setting cannot be changed once students have made submissions. Follow these instructions to set up anonymous marking: - [Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L users](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/setting-requirements?hsLang=en#grading-turnitin) - [Canvas users](https://support.cadmus.io/setting-requirements-canvas?hsLang=en#marking-feedback) When using Anonymous Marking in Cadmus with Turnitin Feedback Studio for grading, it’s important to be aware of how the **feedback release date** affects anonymity. Once the feedback release date has passed, Turnitin will automatically lift student anonymity and reveal their names in Similarity Reports. At this point, the system treats the marking period as complete. This behaviour is controlled by Turnitin and cannot be reversed from within Cadmus. Anonymous Marking cannot be re-enabled after the release date has been reached.   **Tip:** to ensure anonymity is maintained throughout the marking process, please set the feedback release date to a time after all marking has been finalised. ### **Accessing anonymous submissions ** When you are ready to mark, navigate to the *Marking* page. From here, click **Mark** to be taken to the submission. ![](https://support.cadmus.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2025-02-16-26-8732-PM.png?width=670&height=431&name=image-png-May-16-2025-02-16-26-8732-PM.png) Important!If you are using **Canvas Speedgrader + anonymous marking,** please ensure that your Canvas settings are set to **[Show All Sections](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/why-am-i-being-redirected-to-the-wrong-submission-in-canvas-speedgrader?hsLang=en). ** ### **Revealing student names** When anonymous marking is turned on, your class list will show anonymised names in the *Drafts* and *Marking* pages. To de-anonymise, please follow the steps outlined below. 1. Navigate to the class list on the *Marking* page. 2. Select the student using the checkbox next to the student’s "name" (e.g. Student 7, Student 18, etc). To apply the changes to the entire cohort, tick the checkbox located at the top-left corner of the class list. ![](https://support.cadmus.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2025-02-17-02-7708-PM.png?width=670&height=450&name=image-png-May-16-2025-02-17-02-7708-PM.png) 3. Click **Reveal names**. 4. Click **Reveal all** to confirm. *Revealing student names will be recorded in the Cadmus system. Please ensure that you have a valid reason to reveal student names.* **Note**: Names will always be shown in the *Progress* tab, making it easy to track student progress and manage extensions.   - [Teachers](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Introduction](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#introduction) - [Setting up assessments](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#setting-up-assessments) - [Managing your class](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#managing-your-class) - [Turnitin + Cadmus](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#turnitin-cadmus) - [Marking + feedback](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#marking-feedback) - [Exams](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#exams) - [Drafts](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#drafts) - [Insights](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#insights) - [Students working](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#students-working) - [FAQs + Troubleshooting](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#faqs-troubleshooting) - [Multi-format Assessments](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#multi-format-assessments) - [Group Assessments](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#group-assessments) - [Oral Assessments](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers?hsLang=en#oral-assessments) - [Students](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Introduction](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#introduction) - [Working in Cadmus](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#working-in-cadmus) - [Submitting](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#submitting) - [Grades + Feedback](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#grades-feedback) - [Drafts](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#drafts) - [FAQs + Troubleshooting](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#faqs-troubleshooting) - [Multi-format Assessment](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#multi-format-assessment) - [Group Assessments](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#group-assessments) - [Oral Assessments](https://support.cadmus.io/students?hsLang=en#oral-assessments) - [Admins](https://support.cadmus.io/admins?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integrations](https://support.cadmus.io/admins?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Release Notes](https://support.cadmus.io/release-notes?hsLang=en) - [Privacy Policy](https://support.cadmus.io/privacy-policy?hsLang=en) - [Cadmus](https://cadmus.io/) - [Video Tutorials](https://cadmus.io/video-tutorials/) - [Contact Support](https://support.cadmus.io/kb-tickets/new) - [System Status](https://cadmus.statuspage.io/) [![](https://support.cadmus.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Cadmus%20Wordmark%20%26%20Logo_Master%20File_Cadmus%20Wordmark_Berry.png?width=100&height=100&name=Cadmus%20Wordmark%20%26%20Logo_Master%20File_Cadmus%20Wordmark_Berry.png)](http://cadmus.io) Copyright © 2026, Cadmus
